Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 94687 36V traction motor designed for?
A: The CR 94687 is a 36V series-wound DC traction motor for Crown electric pallet jacks and light-duty forklifts. It drives the main propulsion system and is rated for continuous duty cycle warehouse applications.
Q: What motor specifications should I verify before ordering?
A: Confirm the voltage (36VDC), motor frame size, shaft diameter, and mounting configuration. The CR 94687 operates at specific RPM ranges depending on load and wheel diameter. Cross-reference your truck model and serial number with the Crown parts catalog to ensure correct fitment.
Q: Is the CR 94687 compatible with both lead-acid and lithium battery systems?
A: Yes. The CR 94687 functions with both lead-acid and lithium-ion battery packs in 36V configurations. Motor performance remains consistent across battery chemistry types as long as the battery charger maintains proper voltage regulation.
Q: What symptoms indicate the CR 94687 motor needs replacement?
A: Replace the motor if the truck loses propulsion, the motor runs but the wheels do not turn, you hear grinding or squealing noises, or the motor draws excessive current and drains the battery rapidly.
Q: How long does a 36V traction motor typically last?
A: Under normal warehouse use, the CR 94687 typically operates for 8-12 years. Heavy-duty or outdoor environments may reduce motor life to 5-8 years due to bearing wear and seal degradation.
